November 14, 2013: Scott Lobdell Talks Life and Death in "Krypton Returns"

Krypton Returns Newsarama.com sat down with writer Scott Lobdell to get an inside look at what he has planned for Superman, Supergirl and Superboy in the "Krypton Returns" saga currently running through the Superman family of comic books. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: What can you tell us about how ["Krypton Returns"] will affect Superman?

    Lobdell: Well, in the New 52, Superman is at a time when he still makes mistakes - that even the best of his intentions don't always lead to the best results. What Superman is going to learn (and it is going to be awhile before it becomes clear to him, so settle down for the long haul) is that being right and doing "the right thing" isn't always the choice.

    This will become clearer to us on the last page of "Krypton Returns." But it is a decision that is going to catch up to Superman later rather than sooner.

    Q: What about Supergirl? Does this mess with her psychologically to face all this history of Krypton?

    Lobdell: Supergirl comes face to face with the ancient Kryptonian clones she's feared and loathed her entire life... and is going to discover everything she's read about them is actually true. But saving the time stream - like politics - makes for strange bedfellows. And once she's learned to embrace the enemy of her enemy...? Well, it is going to have a profound effect on some of her life choices moving forward.
